UNSPSC 50385540: Seville orange purees

The variety of oranges known as seville oranges which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50385540 Seville orange purees (Commodity) shows sparse and misaligned recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally names a narrow fruit product, but the recent solicitation block contains no records matching seville orange purees, seville oranges, or closely related specialty citrus preparations. Instead, posted opportunities tag the code to general fruit procurement—canned applesauce (Oregon Department of Corrections), dried fruit bars and apple crisps (Austin Independent School District), fresh produce including apples, berries, and citrus fruits (multiple school districts and state agencies), and broad food supply contracts encompassing fruit among dozens of commodity categories. None of these are seville orange purees or category-specific purees.

State and local procurement under this code in practice covers mainstream institutional food sourcing by school districts, corrections departments, state supported living centers, and health and human services agencies across Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Missouri, and Connecticut. The issuing bodies span school nutrition programs (Fairfax County Public Schools, Rockwood R-VI School District, Austin ISD, Douglas County School System, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Liberty County Board of Education), state corrections and HHS departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas HHSC, Texas TDCJ), and municipal food service (City of Bridgeport). Representative recent opportunities include the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB for 4,760 cases of canned applesauce due July 31, 2026, the Texas HHSC IFB for supplemental food and consumables statewide with an estimated $4.5 million value, and the Douglas County School System RFP for fresh produce and eggs across 30 districts with estimated annual spend of $5.5 million. The code does not support pursuit of seville orange purees specifically; business development professionals should verify that genuine seville orange puree procurement exists under a different UNSPSC code before investing resources.
